Call for Applications
Arts Impact Grants
The Vermont Arts Council is now is accepting applications for its Arts Impact Grants. The grants award up to $4,000 to support nonprofit organizations, municipalities, and schools in their efforts to add vibrancy to Vermont communities through projects that provide equal and abundant access to the arts. The Arts Impact Grant program also invites proposals for general operation grants to arts nonprofits.

Examples of fundable project grants include

  • performances, exhibits, screenings, readings, fairs, public art projects, and festivals that focus on including new audiences
  • program improvements that enable people with disabilities to participate
  • public art projects that commission an artist for the creation of new work where the community is engaged in the planning, presentation, and/or fabrication
  • creative experiences that are designed to include a specific group of a certain age, income, gender, race, ability, or to encourage interaction among these groups
